6. How to deal with interruptions during recitation?
If you are interrupted in the midst of reciting a scripture, chant the following mantra once to pause your recitation – “Ong Lai Mu Suo He”. You can resume recitation by reciting the same mantra again and continuing where you left off.
However, it would be advisable to start the recitation over in the case of a short scripture or if the interruption is longer than two hours.
